Though I have to admit, I'm not much of a fan, maxi dresses are pretty much taking over, especially as a breezy, simple option for the impending warmer weather. Yet in my closet hangs this dress. Not quite a maxi, it hangs rather strangely right at my ankles. Somehow, the added awkwardness of the wedges works for me (despite the fact that I almost faceplanted trying to walk down a wooded trail in them). I'm still not sold on the whole maxi thing (though maybe if they changed the name...I don't usually have aversions to specific words, but I kind of hate "maxi"), but I will admit the length of the hem made me feel more elegant and fancy than usual.

I love this look, the blazer paired with the patterned dress, the wedges, the setting in the woods... it all works. Have you tried a floor-length jersey knit maxi yet? They're like being wrapped in pajamas.
ReplyDeleteI love your dress.
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel about the word 'maxi' though. I refuse to call anything a 'snood'. It sounds like an insult. I don't even know who makes up these names. They sound just silly, really.
ummmm didn't I see this outfit featured on Weardrobe or something????
ReplyDeleteI actually so love how you paired this!
